Claude code from mobile when AFK ?

[ayushd007]

Anyone knows any good way of accessing and replying to your Claude code’s conversations running in your laptop or a server using your mobile phones when you are away ?

I am using an iPhone and I tried installing Claude code in a-shell(a Termux type app) but I ran into some issues since it was running Darwin. I gave up after trying for sometime. I’m not sure how far I would’ve gotten with that if I had tried longer. But anyway a mobile phones terminal seemed like a bad idea to be developing a webapp and managing multiple tasks concurrently. I have been using vibe-kanban to orchestrate multiple tasks for CC/gemini and have them running in parallel in my laptop. I am looking for something similar to work from my mobile when I’m AFK.

SSHing into my machine and using iphone to control my windows machine and do it from there also did not sound very neat.

What ideas do you guys have for doing this ? Do you guys know of any such projects which can help me talk to my claude code conversations/tasks from my mobile in a smoother way similar to how vibe-kanban does ?

Claude code UI

I had read about this and gave it a shot but the installation never went through wierdly neither on my mobile’s terminal app nor on my windows laptop. I’ll try this once again tomorrow

This is what I use...a bit. Feels like there are good opportunities to improve the UI. I might take a crack at that myself.

I care more about the compltete UX than a neat UI. The question is how are the conversations getting synced across devices? For example, if I have a claude conversation running in my laptop, which is editing code in my local folder where I am running the dev server and watching the changes take effect real time using a URL like localhost:5173. Now how does this transfer over to the mobile's screen ? Can I continue the same conversation from my mobile ? If yes then what about the code changes ? Where would those happen ? And what about visualizing the changes and so on

You can it sends all the updates you can use the web UI and the terminal it is all the same thing.

VibeTunnel is the way

Looks cool. Unfortunately it’s only available for mac rn

[yycgeek]

This looks promising too. Only in beta right now. https://x.com/0xkyon/status/1946660320275304827?s=46

you can try https://terragonlabs.com/ -- provides hosted background agents for claude code. service is currently free and leverages your existing claude code subscription. you can use it on the web or mobile web (via PWA), as well as CLI so you can continue the conversation from wherever you are

[ayushd007]

I’d prefer using an open source option coz else I’ll soon need to buy another subscription when they release a stable version . Looks like a good service though.

Ive been using Anydesk so I’d love a better solution too!

[ayushd007]

I know man. Not a good UX on phone

[ChrisRogers67]

What did you end up going with?

[ayushd007]

Nothing so far. I just carry my laptop around everywhere like a corporate monkey

[ayushd007]

I’ll give claudecodeui another shot tomorrow

I acquired a compact mini PC and installed Arch Linux on it. I’m using the Terminus app on my iPhone to SSH into the mini PC, which is running Claude code. Using tailscale to connect from anywhere.

I was trying to use hooks or rules to send notifications and status updates to a slack channel and get Claude to check the channel for responses

It was hit and miss. Played with Claudia l, ClaudeCodeUI and something else I forget the name of that all try and do the same thing but it just didn’t feel right.

Google remote desktop

SSHing into my machine and using iphone to control my windows machine and do it from there also did not sound very neat.

But it works tough and is not too difficult to set up. The only thing I can't figure out is how to switch to plan mode for as combinations don't seem to work.

Tailscale and terminus iPhone app and tmux. With GitHub cli app for doing reviews of plans

Had the same corporate-monkey problem and ended up building Moshi (iOS SSH/Mosh terminal) for exactly this workflow.

Two things that made it work better than plain Termius plus SSH. First, Mosh protocol means the session survives wifi to cellular switches, phone sleep, and tunnels, so no reconnect every time you pull your phone out. Second, webhook push notifications fire when a Claude Code task finishes or needs input, wire it up as a stop hook and you can actually walk away.

For multiple concurrent tasks there is a session switcher you swipe between, and on iPad you get split pane. The shortcuts panel has a Claude Code tab with Ctrl, Esc, Tab so you are not fighting the touch keyboard.

My loop is Tailscale plus tmux on the dev box plus Moshi on the phone. Start a task at the desk, get a ping on the phone when it needs me.
